Do you think that the government isn't paying the healthcare costs of those without health insurance one way or the other?

And are you pleased that the cost of health insurance to individuals and small businesses has gone up 90% since Bush took office?

Or that the number of people with higher deductables AND HIGHER PREMIUMS has increased since Bush too office?

Why do you think that more flailing around on healthcare instead of adopting one of a dozen systems in the world that deliver better care at lower costs per person when only 60% of the people have reasonably decent insurance, and a third or more of them are insured by the Federal government, will work in the future when we have a quarter century of failure after failure?

Over two hundred nations exist, yet no one can point to a single one that meets your criteria for the "right" healthcare. By pure chance, one of the two hundred would have stumbled on it, unless it can't possibly work as you imagine.

Three dozen nations have systems that work better and cost less. You are like a creationist who claims there is no evolution even as you complain about getting a new flu each year, calling for a single vaccine to prevent flu.
